Appendix D Explanation of Homing Modes
D-21
 Mode 27
Circumstance 1: MC_Home instruction is executed while the home switch is OFF and the axis starts to
move in the negative direction at the first-phase speed. The motion direction changes
and the axis moves at the second-phase speed when the home switch is ON. Where
the axis stands is the home position when the home switch is OFF.
Circumstance 2: MC_Home instruction is executed while the home switch is ON and the axis moves in
the positive direction at the second-phase speed. Where the axis stands is the home
position when the home switch is OFF.
Circumstance 3: MC_Home instruction is executed while the home switch is OFF. The axis moves in
the negative direction at the first-phase speed. The motion direction changes and the
axis moves at the first-phase speed when the home switch is OFF and the negative
limit switch is ON. When the home switch is ON, the axis starts to move at the second-
phase speed. Where the axis stands is the home position when the home switch is
OFF.
